OSTN15/OSGM15 transformation accuracy
OSTN15 now defines OSGB36 National Grid – in conjunction with the OS Net stations.
You can consider OSTN15 to be somewhat error free. That is, when any GNSS positional errors are not included.
Agreement between OSTN15 and the old triangulation network stations is 0.1m rms (down to the third order) for Great Britain only.
The standard error in height of OSGM15 for each regional vertical datum are included in the table below. These errors are for OSGM15 only and do not include any GNSS heighting errors.
